Livingstonia Mission is a strangely atmospheric place, friendly and quiet, set high above Lake Malawi in a fertile area know locally as Kondowe. Dr. Livingstone never came here although he got close (Chitimba). It was built as a memorial to him (est. 1894) by the Scottish missionaries that followed in his footsteps after his death. It grew quickly and became a great provider of education to the local Tembuka people who were open to the idea of western education to better deal with the British who seemed to not want to leave. The missionaries also developed a hospital soon to be considered the best in central/east Africa. It was an extraordinary effort considering it’s remoteness and distance from Scotland, it’s main supplier of technical hardware. It’s remoteness is one of it’s charms but still makes life difficult for the mission to run successfully today.
